In what looks to actually be a

****victory for creators**

, it appears as though the 

****House Judiciary Committee**

 is taking steps to **separate** the 

****Copyright Office**

 from the

****Library of Congress, says David Lowery.**

We know the devil is in the details. However this looks like a victory for creators. For this will make it that much harder for Google, Silicon Valley and the copyleft “useful idiots” at Ivy League institutions to install an anti-creator copyleft puppet as a Register of Copyrights. We certainly won’t see a repeat of the retaliatory constructive termination of the Register of Copyrights by a bush league Librarian of Congress. This is a complete repudiation of the Google/Soros backed Librarian of Congress.We really should all thank Dr Hayden, Google and their funded/directed astroturf groups like Public Knowledge, DPLA, Stanford CIS and EFF for overplaying their hands. In the end they have given the fired Register everything she wanted.Read the proposal: [copyright-reform](https://thetrichordist.com/2016/12/08/house-judiciary-committee-proposes-copyright-office-reform-that-makes-register-of-copyrights-independent-of-library-of-congress/copyright-reform/?ref=hypebot.com)
